Yeah and without the DF arrangements JWs would probably have half its members. The Christian groups that you view as having " bad " numbers have about 30 - 100 million members. And growing. They can not be compared to little watchtower. Spending billions of hour on some work and see no real results is not "bad". It's a disaster.

Are the statistics out yet?
by slimboyfat inisn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?
or have they stopped publishing it?
did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?

Hellothere
In reality numbers have been really bad for year's. Billions hours spend in preaching and almost no growth. I mean the yearly report haven't been encouraging for JWs in the western world for long now. This has become such a staggered boring religion. Maeby if they removed current GB and put some new GB members on that are younger and hade some new ideas. They need major major major changes if they gonna change the downhill course they on. Think the preaching work is more a symbolic thing for watchtower this days. They are more interested in catching JW children at young age and keeping them in the org. Only way too do that is removing doe's boring jw meetings. Yes go online.

by Balaamsass2 inwow.
while not a pew survey, i found these to be surprising results.
" a recent yougov poll explores americans' attitudes toward 35 religious groups, organizations, and belief systems.

Not strange. Jesus spoke of love and healing. GB speak about 99% population must die in harmagedon. Maeby if they went with Jesus message they would be more liked.

Elders told to befriend young ones.
by LostintheFog1999 insomeone on this forum kindly posted a link to the program of the current elders' training schools taking place.. i was just looking at it and thought that the part i have highlighted looks innocent enough unless the elder has an overfondness for young ones.. if he is spending too much time with the younger ones he can say, with hand on his heart, i am simply following through on the latest direction from the organisation about befriending, training, and mentoring the young.

Everything watchtower does is common of group's that leaders are living in compound and detached from reality and life of regular people. They should have obeyed Jesus command to follow his steps closely.

So first a video Tony Morris telling JWs return to Hall's cause it's so joyful and loving there. Some weeks after GB release video about how they gonna train overseers to be loving, probably cause Hall's are not that loving 😂 This people really lost their mind. Either they want JWs to abandon org or they just lost it all😁. What's going on 🤡. Let's realise facts.... bunker life and whisky don't mix well as it seems

Yeah that control thing is what people put up as argument for org not going online. Watchtower hade congregations to control back to in the 90s. Most congregations are made up of pimos, people there just just too meet family. Kingdom Hall's have been half empty before covid. They been begging for money for decades now. Telling people to go to meetings for year's. Nothing has really worked. People haven't gone too meetings and they haven't been donating as watchtower wants för decades. It's the other way around. They don't care following directions as they used too. Plus every year JWs get more tired and less enthusiastic. Forget about control. GB lost control over congregations year's ago. They never gonna get it back as in the 90s. They know that very we'll. Only thing left is sell everything and run with the Money. Everything is about money. If they go plus Money wise selling things and going online, then that's what gonna happen.
